That's what happened to me too. Only with me it wouldn't open at all
with the control panel. I quickly tracked the problem down to resource
that somehow got removed from the file (in fact the cdev code!) at
boot time. The following patch should work: search the hex string 6314
and replace it with 6014.

Why does this happen? It looks like the code looks at the time and
then makes a decision to destroy itself. Maybe this really is a beta
version that is not intended to be used after xx.xx.198x, but since
it should be public domain while in beta (according to the posting),
I guess I have the right to make modifications. It doesn't even
have a visible copyright notice...
